I always thought that it was really weird that they only had a 4GB bundle. It feels like its pretty stupid to buy the 4GB bundle if you ever decide to go into more hardcore Xbox 360 games. Then you will have to buy and extra hard-drive I suppose? What was the point of the 4GB Xbox 360 anyway, is it different from the other Xboxes in any way, except for the hard-drive ofc?

Same shit in Bahrain. You just gotta ignore those big shops like Geekay or whatever and look at those small shops here and there. Hell, even Virgin has some decent prices once in a while. (Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box for AED 139 or 149 and that was a week after its release)

The PS brand is extremely popular in the Middle East and the Arab Gulf. Heck, some people refer to it as gaming itself! I hope SONY consider this and use it to its advantage. I mean the prices here are a bloody ripoff ( they take atleast $30 extra assuming the games price is $60 ). People love Playstation here and gaming in general but its one costly investment. I wish they give us release dates for our region so we don't have to wait for shipping nad pay for it of course plus a pre-order service among other things.
